Wartime History
This bomber was abandoned on Ballale Airfield on the northern end of
the island, resting on landing matt and fuel drums.

Wreckage Both engines have fallen forward from their mounts,
or were removed during the war and lie in front of the aircraft. Its
tail section is unbolted and missing beyond the waist blisters. The
vertail portion of the tail was lying on the ground behind the aircraft,
badly damaged with no numbers visible.

Charles Darby adds:
"I'm fairly sure 1800 had ASV antennae along the nose, and from memory it
wasn't the only one. I will look through my detail negs and let you know if I
find anything. In 1975 you could raise and lower flaps with hydraulic
hand pump and aproriate level selection."
